I couldnt agree more, I use ublock in advanced mode (even on mobile) and I was expecting to have to enable multiple scripts, which nearly always consist or analitics and ads, to be able to use this thing. Nope, all first party scripts, bril

Not everyone lives in America which is what most of this thread seems to be about. No idea why you're mentioning Catholics in the UK Parliament. Unless its an attempt at discrediting the previous commenters statement. We certainly refe

OK I have to admit on reading the title and a few comments my first thoughts were 'why would you bother'. Now I've read the article it makes sense if you're a struggling magazine and need money. Also if you got something

When I do that it does open in fdriid but to the "Armenian for AnysoftKeyboard". Edit: thought I would install it and it turns out its English. Using to type this.

I'd have no issue telling you to mind your own if you tried telling me how to manage my kids.

My dream tool would be a mobile version of zim-wiki. They started work on it years ago but it never got far.

I'm replying to myself in an effort to reply generally to everyone who replied to me, thanks for your use cases. I can see some of the reasons and benefits and to me, no offence meant, the seem pretty trivial, especially when you take

I don't get it. What's the point in these systems? Genuinely. Why would I ever need this? Just like a "smart" doorbell, fridge, meter. I would love for someone to be able to explain the benefits to me over the normal, ch

I don't do notes on my phone. I manage all my notes with zim-wiki. It's cross platform and portable on Windows so no installation. Plain text and folders for organisation, search is fast. Has tagging and dating built-in.

This is really 3 problems for the EU or whatever government wants to bring this in. The way I see it is the government/EU, whatever, needs to first force this encryption backdoor into use, then force everyone to only use chat apps with

Is it for the same reasons health care is so expensive in the US?

Yeah you're absolutely correct its pretty much fake but I still like the story, just like I like the toothpaste factory story. Essentially keep it simple stupid, don't over engineer, and do your research.

What's the difference between the two? I can't really tell.

I always use a pencil over a pen when ever I can. I write a lot outdoors and pens don't work in the rain. And there's also the story of pens and pencils in space I like.

I have nothing constructive to add but there's definitely a crude/childish joke available with regards that title. It's really the only reason I stopped to look at the paper, which turned out quite interesting.

I'm not sure what to make of this comment. I'm not going to pretend I understand any of this at anything short of an extremely superficial level but you argument sounds like something a religious fundamentalist might say; just ins

Thanks. Can't believe sites still do the 'we're unable to show you a page because ... GDPR'.

I've a bunch of year folders from years ago when I only produced what's now seemingly a month's worth of pictures in a year. Now I'm dumping pictures onto a harddrive every 6 months or so. I'm planning on dumping ev

From the outside looking in I always wonder why anyone uses chrome. I'm not a web dev but do use devtools. Why use Chrome over something like Firefox, Vivaldi or one of the other browsers? Genuine question, what makes it so good.

I remember trying to use this when I did an undergrad math course. My tutor went on about latex and such, I remember being very confused about the whole thing. Thus was prior to any knowledge on my part about markup languages or programming

Would it not work in WSL though? If you wanted windows support.

How is viewing a Facebook profile in the control of that total bastard a good way of determining whether they should be given a job? Personally I'm on no social network, on purpose. I've never had any issues. If it was an issue fo

I'm certainly not singling out excel, this thread is just about excel so thought I'd share my frustration with that. I've had similar experiences with pandas certainly. I've not used the rest of your examples, but do hav

I can attest to this. I move job and my new work place used to manage everything in excel. Something's still are. Realising excel could not scale, and with no support for IT for a proper solution the "tech" guy (that is good

Every single problem I've ever had with excel stems from excel trying to be too clever. Nearly all my problems with importing data into it could be solved if excel left everything as is until I asked it to format values a certain way.

What's the alternative to this? This was on all my browsers, with ublock origin, the first extension I install. Now what? I'm not a good enough programmer to take this on but I suggest 'uMatrix Reloaded' as the new name.
